Vith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of elements to be fully described in this specification, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part of said specication and in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the invention in use as a dresser.

Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a side view of the device in use as a bed.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view in side elevation.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary plan view of the device in use as a bed.

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 6 6 of Fig. 5.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The invention comprises the rear legs 1 connected by brace 1a and provided with casters 2 and terminating in a back 3, which may carry a mirror, and to which a wing 4 is hinged, which may serve as a top for the dresser and that carries a catch 5 adapted, when the wing is in horizontal position, to engage with pins 6, of the legs 1, to support said wing. The legs 1 serve as rear supports for the chest? which is provided with front legs 8 having casters 9 and which may be divided into the usual compartments provided with the doors 10, 11. To the inner face of each side wall of the chest a bar 12 is secured that carries a link 13 to which the stem 14 of a T-bar is pivotally secured, the cross piece 15 of said T-bar being connected by an angular brace 16 to a link 17 by a pivot 18, which link is connected to an angular reach bar 19, the free end of said angular brace 16 being bent approximately at right angles to its body portion and capable of engagement with the reach bar 19 in one position of that member.

The said reach bar 19 at its opposite end is connected by another link 20 to an angular brace 21 by pivot 22, located between its ends, the free or bent end of said angular brace being adapted for engagement with with the reach bar 19, in one position of the same, and the opposite end of said member being secured to an angle bar 23 secured to the inner surface of the top portion of a second chest 24 provided with casters 25 and having drawers 26. In Figs. 1 and 2 the device is shown as a dresser. The operation performed to changes it to a bed is as follows: The spring catch 5 is disengaged from the pins 6 and the wing 4 moved into the position shown in Fig. 4. The chest- 24 is then manually raised and moved ahead of the chest 7, the T-bar 14, 15 traveling 180 degrees about the pivotal point of the stem 14 and the reach bar 19 and angular braces 16, 21 being moved into the position shown in Figs. 3, 5 and 6 vas the chest 24 is placed upon its casters upon the floor. Mattresses and bedding may now be placed upon the framework composed of bars 19 and 23 and cross bars 15. T0 move the device back into position as a dresser the chest 24 is raised and moved back upon the chest 7 the operation disengaging the free ends of the braces 16, 2l from the bars 19 and moving the T-bars 14, 15 about their pivotal point into the position sho-wn dotted in Fig. 1, the reach Ibars 19 being disposed in vertical position between the legs 1 against the brace 1a. When the device is used as a bed the wing 4 may be lowered into vertical position, as in Fig. 3, and when in use as a dresser it may be retained in horizontal position as in Figs. 1 and 2. f
